Spawn Behavior

In Mob of the Dead, Brutus first spawns after rounds 5 and 7 with normal zombies, and then randomly after that. He will appear again if players use the Mystery Box too much, spawning in and destroying the Mystery Box, then running after players; As well if players are on the Golden Gate Bridge. In Blood of the Dead, Brutus first appears after entering the Prison for the first time via the Catwalk, randomly after that, and finally as the final boss in the Main Quest.

Combat Strategy

Outside of the boss fight, Brutus can be taken down like any other zombie by shooting his weak point (his head) until he is killed. He has significantly more health than a normal zombie and can be a bullet sponge if you do not have a strong enough weapon.


During the Blood of the Dead boss fight, there are multiple Brutus' that spawn in all, having no difference from the original; only during the final phase is there a major difference, with that being the size, health, and damage he does. The Magmagat easily takes out this variant of Brutus.
